2011 Heisman Watch: The Ballots

In just a few short weeks bowl season will kickoff, but before any of that, the Heisman Trophy will be awarded for the 77th time on Saturday. The finalists — Alabama’s Trent Richardson, Baylor’s Robert Griffin III, LSU’s Tyrann Mathieu, Stanford’s Andrew Luck, and Wisconsin’s Montee Ball — were announced earlier in the week.With five finalists being selected to attend...

2011 Heisman Watch: Week 11
The 2011 Heisman Watch is now wide open after Stanford’s loss to Oregon last week, and Alabama’s loss to LSU two weeks ago.

2011 Heisman Watch: Week 6
The Heisman Watch remains largely unchanged after a ho-hum week six in college football. The majority of the Heisman candidates handled their business last week with relative ease. The only big change this week is a new player taking over the #1 spot on my Heisman Watch. It doesn’t have anything to do with what happened last week because my new #1 didn’t even play this past weekend. It has more to do with my feeling that I should have made this... Read More
